We are inviting everyone in the bridal party, the readers, grandparents, my aunt and uncle. Probably close to 30 people.

and BP with guests no matter if its a married couple, dating couple or just a date. Its not worth the headaches to us to draw a line. We want everyone to be happy!

Re: Spinnoff to Rehearsal Dinner... who's coming?
FH's parents are paying, and we're inviting:
1. BP: Those w/BF or GF invited with guests; those who are single w/o guests; those who are young with their parents (like my cousins).
2. Grandparents.
3. Readers.
ETA: As far as the BP and their guests thing...it's just a few hours not a huge party with dancing all night or anything, so I really don't think it's necessary to invite someone who is single with a guest. Don't get me wrong, if money were no issue I'd do it, but I'm trying not to overextend my FILs.

Re: Spinnoff to Rehearsal Dinner... who's coming?
we are inviting about 45 people
its our bp with their significant other...some are single so they're coming alone
our parents obviously lol
my grandmother, not sure if fh's grandmother will be there, shes 93 so it'll already be alot for her the wedding day to be up late so they said they might not bring her to the RD
readers
RB and parents well the father is in the BP anyways so the mom which she would've been invited regardless since shes married to one of our GM
FG with her mother
my moms best friend who is like family to me, actually closer to me than family
and another couple which is fh's parents closest friends, the husband is one of the readers though
FH's parents are paying for the RD, they already booked

Re: Spinnoff to Rehearsal Dinner... who's coming?
oh thats right usually OOT guests get invited too...since ours is 2 days before the wedding there won't be many OOT guests. I tried to find out if we'll have any here on may 15th and theres a possibility of a few but we're still trying to find out.

Re: Spinnoff to Rehearsal Dinner... who's coming?
everyone in bridal party, anyone being part of the ceremony, close family and friends and any OOT'ers (our rehersal is thursday and our wedding is saturday). FIL's should be paying for this but i don't have a definite on that as of today. we have already booked RD out of our own pocket.

Re: Spinnoff to Rehearsal Dinner... who's coming?
I haven't exactly planned the RD yet, but FH's parents are going to be paying for it. Obviously our parents will be there, and most likely my 2 grandparents (the only 2 left). We have a very large bridal party (29 people including the kids), so I doubt we'll be inviting people with guests. We'll invite his brothers' wives of course, but as for our friends who have a bf/gf, I don't think we'll be inviting them because it'd be just too many people. I definitely want to do a low-key, informal RD, so that's why I figure it's ok not to invite people with guests. In fact, each RD, I've gone to, I was never invited with a guest.
I'm thinking we may need to invite my aunts and uncles for my 2 junior bridesmaids. I've heard that anyone under the age of 18 in the bridal party is supposed to have their parents invited to the RD too. However, they do live out of state, and if we do the RD on a weeknight, I doubt the junior BMs and their parents would even come.

Re: Spinnoff to Rehearsal Dinner... who's coming?
My Rehersal Dinner is really a mini weddings and I'm so so lucky to have an amazing future mother in law who is going to host it.
Our rehersal dinner is going to be at Astra is NYC and about 160 people are invited
The reason there are so many people invited is taht over half the wedding is coming from out of town. My FH's family is from the midwest as are most of my FH's friends soo thats a lot of OOT's the rest is the bridal party all with dates and immediate family.
I thank my future mother in law everyday for this amazing event

Not sure what the numbers will be: BP with guests (if they are brining a guest to wedding) Parents & grandparents OOT relatives ( if we invited all of the oot guests we may as well have the wedding right then)
Grooms parents are hosting

Re: Spinnoff to Rehearsal Dinner... who's coming?
the bridal party with guests (all but 2 are in serious relationships) so we might as well have them with guests also...then fg's parents and siblings, our parents, and grandparents i guess thats going to be somewhere around 45-50 people

i have the exact amount but hey it MIGHT come out a little less lol...fh was telling me that some of his friends in relationships might not be able to come with SO, but this is just a few of them...one of them their gf works a little bit late so not sure if she'll be able to make it and somebody else...Most however i would say will bring their SO. But like i said sometimes the SO might not be able to make it so theres always a chance to have less

Re: Spinnoff to Rehearsal Dinner... who's coming?
We're inviting all bp with guests, parents, grandparents, readers and all oot guests. My fil's are paying..but they were surprised by our long guest list.
IMO, these oot guests are flying or driving pretty far and staying in a hotel and spending mucho dinero on coming to my wedding!! The least I could do is give them dinner and something fun to do the night before!
